    Lyrics
    Black is the colour of my true love's hair,
    Her lips are like some roses fair,
    She's the sweetest smile, And the gentlest hands,
    I love the ground, Whereon she stands.
    I love my love and well she knows,
    I love the ground, whereon she goes,
    I wish the day, it soon would come,
    When she & I could be as one.
    Black is the colour of my true love's hair,
    Her lips are like some roses fair,
    She's the sweetest smile, And the gentlest hands,
    I love the ground, Whereon she stands.
    I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep,
    For satisfied, I ne'er can be,
    I write her a letter, just a few short lines,
    And suffer death, a thousand times.
    Black is the colour of my true love's hair,
    Her lips are like some roses fair,
    She's the sweetest smile, And the gentlest hands,
    I love the ground, Whereon she stands.

      Likewise but 45 years old! Buut I am so glad that I did!!
      I've always believed that there hasn't yet been released a musical production that didn't have at least one redeeming feature or indeed great song!
      It's a shame though as you tend to end up with "secret weapon" artists or genres; but also why I try an entire album before dismissing the musicians!
      Chrisy is for sure, one of these - and I feel like it's almost a point of pride that so few know about him, so they can feel better than the normals, or something!

      Moore's talent is unquestionable. I love his style. But he has made it his life-quest to be a professional whinger. Constantly denying that the Catholic Faith is intrinsic to the Ireland he loves; the Church did this, the Church did that, blah blah blah, all because he doesn't want to get off his arse and change his own personal life ...And also, why doesn't he go and live in one of the many Marxist utopias that he celebrates?

    I heard this song for the first time few days ago here in Dublin in the International Pub by some musicians there. I did instantly deeply fell in love. Totally. In the middle of a pub I did stand still and I could feel tears coming. It was moving, deep, like a music I heard before long time ago somewhere. Oh the power of music. It did move a whole universe inside me in 2 minutes.
